Scram Bracelet How To Beat

For whom the bell tolls feed

Until a few years ago, mild ridicule and, if registered with indifference and tolerance, compact SUVs led by the likes of Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V is a quiet outsider experience in the consciousness of the Germans. Recently, the times are harder for such cars, in view of the discussions about climate change and CO2 emissions. And one would think that the specialists in the Trend chase, Volkswagen race, with their latest creation, the Tiguan, full of green against the wall would, to say nothing of the inane idea into a to be the establishment already want to force the split market ... - Or?

Pavlov's heirs

wrong! Once again I had underestimated the Pavlovian mechanisms to dance to the whistle, the trade press and the ordinary seem German. In a major PR campaign VW invites journalists to test drive the Tiguan in Namibia "to show that it is also suitable for site's" around. Sun won the first one advocate of a vehicle will leave the safe Asphaltgefilde in reality, never the buyer (see Urban SUV as "creative" neologism of the Head of Development). Already, some believe that this was all scratched to win the segment leader, which in view of the equipment- policy and promises additional charge of VW "interesting" to be. How ridiculous this whole dance around the golden calf happened to sound, a look tells us in the press.

Never exotic

Starting with the now the VW mag depraved auto motor sport , we learn that the Tiguan in spite of African environment "not exotic" acts (in other words, boring) and, according to the head of development Hackenberg "should be much more emotional" than the Golf Plus - which would not be an art piece, on the other hand, is hardly credible even as it still is a VW. Also, technical solutions built (Hill descent assist, hill climb), which are not needed for the life, as the main use of this car - as already touched on - will eventually be the city. Foresters and other people with a recognized need for off-road vehicles in the framework have enough affordable alternatives that are pure and focused, such as the Lada Niva recordable or various Suzuki. Is steered by an electro-mechanical steering, the steering wheel so that the rough terrain is not so much by shaking (a truly terrible idea, right?). I'll bet, would that in any other make so herumgemäkelt on "synthetic feel" ... - But if it goes to the ams , it would have the Toyota RAV4 pack now.

Good man knows his limitations

Jürgen Pander from mirror describes the beginning of the 90 failed attempts Volkswagens with the Gulf Country and refers to the fact that these group trends thus possibly running behind, rather than what to share. With early praise for the Tiguan, he is reluctant beneficial. His colleague from Jürgen Wolff SZ is a low profile. There are words such as "profane" and "rhetoric" (given the Fanale of VW's marketing department). What but combines both articles, but the fact that there is little to say about the new Tiguan, which itself could not be thought too. This raises the question of why you do then a message when there are a nobody? But the bell rang and feed the dogs go drool some more, some less.

Why?

What I have not even read so far is an overt criticism of the whole endeavor Tiguan. Here in Germany, says it actually a large part, that everything would have been invented that has to do with cars. Just why, more and other trends that matter now? Environmentally-conscious concepts such as the hybrid (it is an open question how effective it really is), the American rowing is now back and away from their SUV craze, while the Germans now want to turn up right with it - always nice with his index finger at "them" pointing, true to the motto "but who but also "and" we want that too. "

Who points with his finger at others, while three fingers at yourself
